Peter W. Dahl Co. Inc. makes a 5l6F-2 solid-state conversion kit (see figure 1). The current price is $24.95. It contains all of the above parts. In addition, the 5U4 and 5R4
solid-state replacements (octal plugs with solid state rectifiers) are already assembled. The kit is available from: Peter W. Dahl Co. Inc. 5869 Waycross Avenue El Paso, TX 79924 TEL: 915-751-2300 FAX: 915-751-0768
Figure 1 The Peter Dahl Conversion Kit 1). Install three diodes in parallel from pin #4 (anode of diodes) to pin #8 (cathode of diodes) of eight pin octal plug. See diagram 1. 2). Install three diodes in parallel from pin #6 (anode of diodes) to pin #8 (cathode of diodes) of eight pin octal plug. See diagram 1.

3). Repeat steps one and two to make a second octal plug. 4). Remove the blue wire from pin #2 on V2 (5U4), and solder it to pin #1 on V1 (5R4). Pin #1 of the 5R4 is not used by the 5R4 or 516F-2. It will be used as a tie point for the dropping resistor. 5). Solder one end of the dropping resistor to pin #2 on V2 (5U4), and the other end to pin #1 on V1 (5R4). The typical value for the dropping resistor is 250 Ohm, 25W.
Figure 3- The Unaltered 516F-2 Power Supply 6). Connect the MOV transient suppressor, Z130LA20A, across the transformer primary. Use one side of the fuse, (Ring Section, NOT tip), and rear tie-point mounting strip (the one with the two black wires on it). The Metal Oxide Arrestor (MOV) transient suppressor is the one that looks like a small black disc ceramic capacitor. This will protect the transformer primary from line voltage surges. 7). Replace the Selenium bias rectifier, CR1, with the Silicon diode, 1N5408, be sure to observe the correct polarity. 8). Plug the solid-state replacements for the 5U4 and 5R4 into their respective sockets.
9). Attach the meter protector, (two diodes back-to-back in heat shrink tubing), directly across the meter studs in the transceiver (KWM-2) or transmitter (32S-1/3), whichever may be the case. This protects the meter from slamming against the pin when first turned on.

Adjust R-9 bias potentiometer (right rear of the supply) for proper static current on the 6146s, (Approximately 40-50 Ma).
